The Bikes To Rwanda relay is this Saturday @ 6pm!
Spoke Card Art opening and Race afterparty @ Octane Coffee- 8pm until ??, featuring music by Zarlacc & Acidbath + Rhythm and Booze. Come party.
Here is some important (and hopefully) clarifying info...
-The relay will begin at Woodruff Park at 6pm sharp.
Racers should be there by 5pm to sign up. The entry fee is $10. All entry fees will go to the charity.
-Upon entry, each racer will receive a manifest, which is a list of all the checkpoints. The manifest is what will be signed at each checkpoint by the volunteer. It is the riders responsibility to keep hold of the paper. See the map for a complete list of checkpoints.

-Riders can choose whatever route they like, as long as they complete all of the blue checkpoints. The red checkpoints are optional bonus stops, and each rider who completes one of these stops will get 5 minutes subtracted per stop, for a total of 10 minutes off their final time, plus the chance to earn bonus prizes. The green markers are the start and finish of the race.
Bonus prizes will be awarded to the first rider at each stop.
